I’m sure they have considered this and/or doing it already but you’d only need a small centrifuge to simulate gravity for an experiment.

A small centrifuge won't work; you get a strong coriolis effect. A large centrifuge could, but the ISS doesn't have one of those. It would need to be huge to be absolutely sure your data is accurate.

Late to reply back but I’m not sure why that matters when all you are looking for is roots to have enough stimulation to uptake water.
